How close were your pregnancies?

Jessica Simpson is pregnant again. Yep. According to Us Weekly, less than seven months after she gave birth to the ridiculously adorable Maxwell Drew, the pop-star and her fiance, Eric Johnson, are expecting again. This pregnancy reportedly wasn't planned, but, unsurprisingly, Jess and Eric are "ecstatic."

Congrats to the happy couple! Yay babies! Yay parents! But I'm just
going to say something here, because I know you're thinking it, too: So much for losing those much-talked-about 70 pounds!

Before we get into Jess's "highly-controversial" pregnancy weight gain, though, can we just discuss for a second the fact that she's going to have a 1-and-a-half-year-old and a newborn?
I mean, I know people do it all the time (and it has to be a hell of a
lot easier when you're as rich as Simpson), but hot damn, that sounds
exhausting! But then again, so does a 2-year-old and a newborn. And a 4-year-old and a newborn? Gah, which is best?! One kid and a baby seems nuts, no matter which way you slice it! And being pregnant with a kid seems exhausting!

All right, now we can talk baby weight. Personally, I think it's a good thing that Jess lost the majority of what she gained (thank you, Weight Watchers!). I mean, you want to go into a pregnancy as healthy as possible. Buuuut.
At the same time, it kind of seems like a lot of her work was for
naught. She's going to "have" to start this process over again in nine
months of so.

But hey, the upside is Jess will probably get some sort of
endorsement deal again, which will only make her and her family all the
more rich. So there's that. Stars: They're just like us. Only the
opposite. Because they get to make money off of gaining, and then
losing, weight!

Congrats, Jess and Eric. Can't wait to see what adorable little human
you create this time. Maxwell's going to be hard to top. Just sayin'.
